Mason, who missed Game 1 of his club’s Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with an undisclosed upper-body injury, was on the ice at Chelsea Piers on Friday and might be ready to suit up Sunday against the New York Rangers.

“I’ll try my best,” said Mason. “Like I said, things have been getting better each day and we still have a couple of days before Sunday rolls around, so that’s definitely my goal.

“I’ll know exactly when I’m ready to go physically, but it’s also management and the doctors’ decision as well.”

The goaltending of Ray Emery (32 saves) was the least of the Flyers’ concerns in Game 1, though Mason expressed his frustration over being sidelined for the series opener Thursday.
